a brilliant position right on the beach and the town centre just a short stroll away.It seems a safe and popular little town.Gus the manager is very nice and helpful.Spent 4 nights and really enjoyed it there,nice to getaway from the major cities and just relax.Only thing i would say is to cover yourself in mozzie repellent as the hostel is next to a forest and the beach,i got bitten badly one night but that's my fault for not covering myself in jungle juice.defo recommend this hostel.

wonderful area botafogo,this hostel was charging extortionate rates for dorm beds and people was packed in like sardines.there was just too many people in the hostel,with the wooden flooring and beds piled 3 high,there was no fire extinguishers so the place would be very dangerous if there was `an incident`.safe area so no problem coming back late(or early)and near to the metro and bus lines.i was very disappointed with the hostel to be honest and wouldn't visit this place again,rip off tbh.

Dear Anthony
We appreciate your detailed review and we would like to thank you for taking the time to post your review. We have a lot of fire extinguishers at the first floor and the second floor. Please rest assured that we will address your recommendations for the improvement of our hostel.
Kind regards,
Management

breakfast was good and varied,the staff very helpful(fellow travellers).the location right next to the metro station and a couple of blocks from the beach was perfect.airport bus to/from Copacabana palace hotel on the sea-front is 13 reais.very large hostel and they seem to try to get the guests to enjoy evenings out in various locales in rio,defo recommend this place!

Thank you for staying with us and for leaving a review. We are glad to hear you like our breakfast, staff and location. We are also happy to hear you like the various activities we offer the guests. Best regards and safe travels! CabanaCopa staff

I booked a 5 bed dorm,was given a bed in a big area(which had another dorm just off it but inside our unlockable door!)the toilet/shower was being used by both rooms which meant my bed was being hit by the door constantly as all on the 2nd floor used this facility.at least 13 people and more!the water & sewerage gave up the previous day and it all backed up!,i complained 2 the manager and expected to be moved,he just told me to find another bed if i cud.we rowed & he threatenened 2 call the cops

Hi,
Maybe it was a problem ( put a 5 bed dorm next to the 8bed dorm and sharing the bath ). All dorms doors can not be locked, Sorry for the inconvenience, but we also trust in our staff and if he said that, it was for something.

a bit of a thrown together place tbh,has tarpaulin over a gathering area and corrugated plastic roof over a dorm on ground floor,not very good!,taps and bathrooms very basic but then you are paying such a small fee.internet access but extremely slow but that's not their problem just peru.puno is very safe and can be walked around with no hassle.id pay a bit extra and get a better hostel if i was in this city again.

shud be 6-7 soles from bus station,please shop around for macchu picchu deals,$230 for 1 day trip.train costs 10 soles for locals each way not $100!.ollantaytanbo to aguas calientes.good hostel,nice food and beer,well run.

it just seemed that in the building i stayed that it was being let go somewhat,none of the tv s worked,no internet to use,no changing of bedding/towels.booked a 4 bed dorm but got put in a very small room with a bunkbed.no exaggeration to say u could fill the entire room with a double bed and that would be it.but great location just outside the old city(not actually in it).
